Hot air gun or hairdryer will help massively

I hear Windex and a razor blade is the way to go...

Here's my realistic suggestion of how this will pan out:
It's going to be a tired AF 140k mile Ford with questionable build quality, so maybe not a shed inside if it's been looked after, but if it's not had high levels of maintenance everything that's supposed to make it comfortable, will no longer be doing its job.
If the engine hasn't been abused then it will probably offer a few thousand miles of abuse before shitting the bed.
I have no experience of those particular cars, but I'm just going with my personal experience of many different 90s cars, and also growing up in Essex where every Sierra had blue smoke pouring out of it, even N/A ones.
If you just want a few months of LOLs then throw it in a garage to rot or spend a tonne of cash on it, then you'll be laughing. If you think you're going to get an even semi-reliable performance saloon, then I think you're going to be disappointed.

No, I didn't get it, I got a new phone so I wonder if something funny is going on. I used to have an iPhone so I wonder if yours is still sending me iMessages when I can't receive them. I had the same issue with @BRM

The hairdryer will soften the glue and leave less residue than if you just try and take it off cold.
Interesting that he recommends Windex over a solvent for the remaining residue.

The driver's and shotgun side windows have creased in the Queensland heat, they need to be swapped out straight away, and the rear view windown is a disaster, half has already peeled off and I'm told it's illegal to drive around like that... I've been very slack about getting it off... The rear side windows are still perfect, maybe I could leave them as they are and save a few quid...

weird, it says I'm already de-registered.

Anyone in east London with a van able to help me out for half an hour this week? Need to collect a sofa

Agree, I have Michelin Cross Climates and they grip very well indeed

Glitch in the matrix, thought I saw @Dammit 's old whip pootling round Dublin

Currently for sale by Deane Motors I believe. I've been eyeing it of course...

TLDR: buy a Lotus Carlton.

Can confirm, wasn't me.

It does have a guarantee... if you mark the installation date on the little sticker. Which I didn't of course, but could find out since I probably know when it was bought.
Anyway, voltmeter on it this morning and it was 12.9V which seems reasonable to me. Maybe I'll stick it back in and wait for it to go flat again :)

Do I have the car for you!
My old E39 525d estate, been sitting on my parents' drive since last year because I'm too lazy to sell it...
Well under your budget

F**king 'authorised' volvo workshop bastards. Serviced the V70 there last year, was told all is well, no cambelt change due for a zillion miles at least. Called to book this years service and the guy goes "you've missed your cambelt change, are you crazy? Come here and pay me £1500 at once!". Not likely. Having a local indy do it for £600 after a pleasant chat just now. Added bonus of them also calling volvo a bunch of ignorant c*nts. Never again.

Top deal, I always forget about Bridgestone 4 for 3 deals. The car will feel so much better. But do check pressures after fitting... Unless the fitters are unusually good they'll put 40psi in some and 25 in the others. As we know, tyre pressures are critical...
